Death of a person receiving Injury Benefit
If you die while getting Injury Benefit, payment will continue for 6 weeks to your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant if your payment:
- included an increase for your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant,
or
- did not include an increase for your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant because they were getting a social welfare payment of their own.
We should be told of the death as soon as possible so that we can arrange to continue this payment. A Widow’s,Widower’s or Surviving Civil Partner's Pension or a One-Parent Family Payment will not be paid until the end of the 6 week period.
